There's a verse in the holy Bible that says there is a friend that sticks closer than a brother.
Man is a social entity, and so there's always a need for connection, and that is the reason why friendship exists.
There is a saying: if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go together. This is because no man is an island, and no matter how much you think you know, someone out there is better than you, and you will need them to get to your destination.
In the Bible we saw how Jonathan and David were very close, and when King Saul, the father of Jonathan, planned to kill David, it was Jonathan, the friend of David, that saved him.
Sometimes we build connections, and we don't know how those connections may help us in the future. Some time ago, during my farm practical year, I met someone here in school, and we became a bit close.
He got to know that I was into event decorations, and he was in a room where they were discussing an event, TEDxAbeokuta, and I was the one he recommended for the event decorations.
With good friends you can be sure of minimal mistakes because in the multitude of counsel, mistakes are limited or reduced.
A good friend is that person who will look you in the face and tell you your flaws, whether you like it or not. It might lead to disagreement in the initial stages, but in the end there's always a mutual understanding reached.
A person who doesn't have good friends is bound to make lots of mistakes because if he had good friends, he would have discussed some of his actions with those friends, and they would have given him advice. Without good friends, there would be no advice, which would mean doing things on your own.
As an event planner and decorator, one of the scenarios of having a good friend or good friends played out during one of our events when the fence went wrong, and without the groom knowing, his friends came together to resolve the issue without letting him know.
As one of the correctors in that event, I could only watch amazingly how friends can go all the way to make sure that their friends' wedding wasn't a flop because of some minor issues.
Apart from having your back and keeping you from harm's way, a good friend is one who believes in your dreams and goals and supports you to make sure that your dreams and goals are accomplished.
I once watched a clip on YouTube where the narrator told the story of Cristiano Ronaldo and how they were on the field of play and that his friend had an opportunity to score a goal, but he gave the ball to Ronaldo, and when he was asked, he said that Ronaldo would make a better player than him.
The bottom line is some friends wouldn't mind sacrificing their own goals to make sure that you achieve your own goals because they believe that a win for one is a win for all.
Personally, I found out about the Hive blockchain because of a good friend that I had, and it has been such an amazing journey.
So without good friends a person's life can be frustrating because loneliness can lead to idleness, and an idle mind is the devil's workshop. So you see, without good friends, a lot of us wouldn't be in the position we are today.
Because without someone giving us the privilege to showcase our potential, those potentials will be nothing.
Thank you for stopping by.
